1. That is really well said.
Assuming you are talking about hurting or angry teabaggers.

3. They don't give their masters power. Their masters *have* power; they just
provide a smokescreen so the masters can claim that power has some "democratic" basis.

But even without them, their masters would still have power; the iron fist vs. the velvet glove of pseudo-democracy.

4. Not Really, Ma'am
Without a mass moving to their direction, they are simply individuals like anyone else. It is the people they can buy, and by their buying, achieve the deception and or the coercion of others, which gives them their power in society.

"What is a general if no private obeys?"

5. whether or not the teabaggers follow -- i.e. whether or not there's some rank & file support base
behind murdoch, koch, scaife, etc -- they still own the resource base.

they don't need the simulacrum of a democratic following; their power exists independent of it.

7. Ownership,Ma'am, is A Fiction, Without Recourse To Force In Upholding the Claim
Without people willing to exert force on their behalf, they have nothing, own nothing.

9. Ignorance is no excuse
Power of the masters is granted by the teabaggers and their undying faithfulness to idiocy.

17. BANG!!!! 100% right.
Can't have an army without the foots. As a wise old man once said, "Who's the more foolish, the fool or the fool who follows it?"

21. When the Working Class & The Poor....
...realize we have more in common with each other than we have in common with the Ruling Class Leadership of BOTH Political Parties, real "CHANGE" will become possible.
As long as "they" can keep us divided, nothing will really change.
Glenn Beck did his part last weekend.
Robert Gibbs did his part the week before.
